When identifying “barriers” will it reflect current condition that best estimates probability of holding fire impact?

Yes, you would identify if the barrier is impervious to fire spread (i.e., hard surface, water, wide dozer line, etc.). If the barrier is a fuel change due to previous fire scar or prescribed burn – burn out, shaded fuel break, etc. you would be better to identify it as a “mask” and identify the fuel type. If the area contains multiple fuel types then you can create a mask shape file for each type and conduct a FSPro run with a rule that requires each mask to be combined as one unit.
